COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
Community engagement
Thank you to Maryan Abdow and Julie Herdt, our Community Engagement Specialists from our Tukwila School District. It took your strong leadership for collaboration with organizations throughout King County for the very successful Resource Fair for all of our families. Still Waters was able to meet new volunteers who were families that also went through our program in the past and wanted to give back.
One of our youngest volunteers from Tukwila Elementary was able to engage with Community in Schools Tukwila-Renton, one of our community enrichment partners and our very supportive team of social workers at the Art Therapy table.

COMMUNITY PROJECT
VIKING pANTRY
January 2023 we were able to start a pantry at our school partners Showalter Middle School. We listened on how distribution of weekend meals would work for them and this is what they suggested! We are still in need of hygiene products and food donations to continue and this is only the beginning.
